Trump asks Supreme Court to curb judges' power to block policies nationwide [View all]
CLICK PICTURE FOR FULL ARTICLE
Excerpts:
In addition to taking aim at nationwide injunctions, the Trump administration’s appeal to the Supreme Court seeks to weaken the ability of states to file lawsuits against federal policies.
States with Democratic attorneys general have brought a flurry of such lawsuits in the past two months, challenging Trump actions on issues ranging from transgender rights to safeguards on sensitive federal government data to reimbursement rates for federal grants. One of the injunctions blocking the birthright citizenship order came in a case brought by 18 blue states.
Trump’s Supreme Court filing argues that states don’t have the right to bring suits on behalf of their residents.
The more things change, truly the more they stay the same.
Weaponized hypocrisy is a long-standing tradition for "conservatives" a.k.a. fascists.
It goes back to at least 1850:
States MAY allow slavery.
States MAY NOT choose NOT TO ALLOW slavery and the federal government can force them to returned escaped slaves.
